Transference is a psychological phenomenon where a patient projects feelings, desires, and expectations from past relationships onto a therapist, often reflecting unresolved conflicts from earlier life experiences. Counter-transference occurs when a therapist unconsciously redirects their own emotions, experiences, or biases onto the patient, influenced by the patient's transference. Both concepts are important in psychotherapy, as they can reveal underlying issues and dynamics in the therapeutic relationship, providing insight for both the therapist and the patient. Proper management of these phenomena can enhance the therapeutic process and promote healing.

Transference refers to a patient projecting feelings or emotions onto their therapist that stem from past relationships. Countertransference occurs when a therapist projects their own unresolved issues onto a patient. Both phenomena can affect the therapeutic relationship and should be managed carefully.
The general concept has to do with transference and countertransference. Tis involves the client or the therapist perceiving the personality and attributes to the other because of past history with other people and relationships.
Client dependency refers to a client's excessive reliance on a therapist for emotional support and decision-making. Countertransference refers to a therapist's emotional response to a client that is often unconscious and based on the therapist's own unresolved issues or past experiences. Both client dependency and countertransference can impact the therapeutic relationship and effectiveness of therapy.

If someone has come to you because you have put yourself out as a teacher, a coach, a therapist, a counselor, etc., and they are paying you to help them, then you have to override any negative feelings about that person. In other words, you can have your feelings, but you cannot use them against the person, grow in your dislike of them as a human being and continue to work with them. It is a matter of ethics and actually if we all used these ethics in every day life with those who we say we love, we would all treat each other better. This is particularly true for children, as they actually have little power when it comes to adults. It is a slippery slope when attempting to put yourself out in our world as a "helper." Are you actually helping or satisfying some need for power yourself? It is good to always question yourself if the person asking for help has little ability but to be a victim.

"Transference" is the redirection of a clients feelings, fears, or emotions from one person to another.
Transference is positive and essential in therapy. The existence of a positive transference from early childhood to the therapist (or other figures) is the glue which allows the relationship to develop. Without transference there can not be first willingness to trust and this is an essential element. The existence of negative transference and the problems of how deeply one can be distorted by past experiences is the work of therapy. To be able to see and experience life realistically is the goal of good therapy. Understanding what is distorted and unrealistic in the current transference is the work of therapy.
